arc moro or less common expres-
fitons when the dance music is Rood. '
but how many of tho dancers know
that there really are hot and sweet
orchestras and bands'
Locul musicians give this defini
tion: a hot band consists of the
following Instruments: piano; tyix,
cornet, trombone, banjo and drum.
and it la kc no rally accepted that
good results are seldom;- possible
with nss than six pieces, they us-
acrt; sweet .combination: piuno,
sax, violin, bass or other sax, tutu
Jo and . drum. In clght-pleee bunds
the sweet bund would substitute u
violin for a clarinet,. It is said that
New York and other metropolitan
centers like the sweet bunds while
outlying district prepare thelrmtw
outlying districts prefer . t .elr
music "hot." They ulso slate that
U-pie.ce bands and orchestra re
sult In the most satisfactory music.
pointing out that all the well known
organisations over the country have
a complete Instrumentation. .
. In referenco to the trend in pop
ular music. It is reported that th.re
is a recurrence at present to mel
ody, with tiuite a few old. -. time
melodies Included. ' .
They also point out that dancers
in general want sliuplo arrange
ments. Huiiiu' authorities declare
that SO per cent of, American dan
cers do not understand music tech,
nlcally and that when bunds play
involved arrangements the dancers
frequently pause und lose heir rhy
thm.; They say that a good- indi
cation of a successful arrangement
is when the duueers begin hum
ming or singing. 1
-The trend is also toward special
ising on a single instrument, ex
cept in cases where it Is eu.sy to
double, such us the sux and vlulln.
